Description
Summary:The problem faced by banana chip MSMEs is producing banana chip products manually. This causes the maximum number of products not to be produced. Apart from that, the resulting product also has a non-uniform thickness and size. Banana chip MSME business actors in Salo Palai village once purchased a cutting machine but it could not be used because it could not produce the appropriate/desired product. There are other alternative machines, but the prices are quite expensive, so for MSMEs the benefits obtained do not match the costs incurred. This research aims to produce a cutting machine design to produce banana chips for food MSMEs. It is hoped that the results of this research will be useful in improving the quality and quantity of banana chip MSME products in Salo Palai Village. This machine design process provides several alternative design options. This is intended so that users can select and determine designs that comply with the design criteria. Machine design that can increase product quantity and quality is beneficial for banana chip MSME business actors in Salo Palai village. Even though the resulting machine design is still not perfect, it can help business actors in their efforts to increase sales turnover.
